Hey all,
 
I just want to say to all of the fine folks at olbermannwatch: Thank's for the laughs and all that you do to expose the liar, Keith Olbermann! You all deserve a medal for bravery for putting you're sanity on the line......hell, RISKING YOUR VERY SOULS to watch that pathetic excuse of a cable news show for the sole purpose of informing us of it's utter hipocrosy, lies and deviant nature.
 
I have to use J$P because I feel that I won't be able to register on olbermannwatch in time before that great blog becomes obsolete.
 
Oh yes, that freak of nature is definitely on it's way to retirement. Vanquished, as predicted, ...a victim of his own liberalism!
 
Once again, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You, & God Bless you ALL for battling these freaks!
 
Keep fighting!!!!!

I see a temporary rise coming in CNBC's ratings and in its viewers.

Nice post, Chris. The article pretty much takes the Hideous Hens to task for belaboring useless topics while ignoring more important stuff.
But, that's the haters for you.

Of course FNC gave 100% coverage to Palin...we'd expect nothing else...airing her speech and Q&A session in full....This simply underlines their partisanship...as we've seen over the last week FNC refuse to show complete  coverage or even cover at all the President's speeches/Q&A sessions.

I see no partisanship in Fox's coverage, it was purely a business decision. Palin is hot, Obama is not.

I wouldn't call her palms news unless you're a desperate-to-smear site.

FF as you know....even photoshopped...plastic knockers do nothing for me.....but writing on palms is a completely different matter.

It's such a good 'shop I couldn't pass it up. The picture makes the palm story 100% irrelevant. How's that for irrefutable logic?

I don’t know if you watch football, but many quaterbacks put their plays (in code of course) on their wrist bands. That’s not cheating.
The number one voice for the lib sect. Olbermann needs a teleprompter so he can say all those ‘One Dollar’ words. And I don’t call that cheating.
Obama seems lost without a teleprompter, and when they do get around to putting pronunciations next to words he has trouble with. (like corps man). I won’t call that cheating.
So, because Palin wants to put a few words on the palm of her hand, you want me to call cheating?

There's something funky going on with Echo today. I know people are posting comments but they are not showing up. Am investigating.

You're right johnny....I've had at least 3-4 comments disappear.
 
Puck....I don't remember The President using a teleprompter when he took the GOP apart....mind you you probably missed that due to FNC not showing most of it...I also don't remember him having little cheat notes written all over his palms. I'll be watching the Friends tomorrow to see if they mention this....somehow I think not....but if the VP had done this they'd be red faced with outrage....wouldn't you agree?

Haggis, are you comparing Palin, a nomadic teabagger, to Obama, the POTUS? Why?

No I don't, I didn't watch it on FNC, I like you watched on your favorite channel MSNBC where I'm sure you will agree 'Palin Derangement Syndrome' was on full display. I know you just love to lump everyone in, it's how you work. Then again, you didn't watch, let's hear it Haggis. Media Matters talking points? Daily Kos? Your bud Tommy Christopher over at Mediaite?  
DU?  
 
Now I don't know what the friends will say because I don't watch that show. And since you everything because you know everything. You will know why I don't watch friends. So why are you asking me since you know I don't watch the show? I thought you knew everything? So tell everyone Haggis why don't I watch friends? I've said it many times on this blog. Many, many, times!  
 
Seems I caught you talking out your backside again.   
 
funny when I watch NFL quaterbacks, they have plays written (in code) on their wrist bands. Are they stupid? Should they be called out? You never wrote anything in your hand? She wrote three words on her hand. so she's stupid. But if she wrote three words on a piece of paper that's okay? I guess, I don't know. I don't have 'Palin Derangement Syndrome.'  
& 'Fox Derangement Syndrome'  
 
So tell me then, if Obama is so good. What happened this day?

Palin ain't my cup of tea, but I'll take somebody who writes three words on her hand over a guy who doesn't know simple geography.

I wonder what would you say, about Obama taking only 4 pre selected questions. When he had his meeting with the Dems? I know you didn't see this because your precious channel MSNBC didn't show it. Didn't they dump out after he said something about cable news? Did their feelings get hurt? Oh poor babies!

Now I just want the answer about the 4 pre-selected questions. We won't talk about the falsehoods he said during this speech.
 
And why won't they let David Schuster twit?

I detect more flawed analysis with the "took the GOP apart".  That is absurd on its face.  Regarding the notes on Palin's hand.  I say much better to do that then to have to have teleprompters when you visit an elemetary school room.

Un-Reliable is as Un-Reliable does.  Arianna never met a successful FNC host she won't lie about.   She reads her talking points crip cards when she thinks the camera won't catch her.

No that wasn't it. How about if I say that FHWiR never appears on a Super Bowl Sunday with an odd-numbered single-digit date? Does that fly?
